Death of a Good Woman.

Sarah Casteel, wife of Nathan Cas-.
teel, was born in Allegheny county,
Nd. March 2lst. 1919, and departed
this life June 18th, 1887, aged 81
years, 8 months and 8 days. She was
converted and joined the M. E.
Church at about the age of II, and
lived a member of the Church for SO
years. One of the marked character
istics of her nature was that whatey-
er she undertook she threw her whole
life into it, and this was especially
true of her in religion, and her fideI.
ity to her Masters cause did not abate
in age, and in.her last illness the ex-
pressed longings of her soul were
Nearer, my God, to Thee" Nor
could she be satisfied until her heart
was filled with His love. Her long,
ings were not in vain. The blessings
came and she was not only enabled
to rejoice, but chee.fuIly gave up the
things she had loved and rejolced in
hope of eternal life. Her end was
peace. She leaves husband and son
and many friends to mourn her loss.
May they all meet again in the land
of eternal joy.

Business Barometer.

New YORK, June 17.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'s weekly review of trade says /:
1t is most encouraging that two of
the great speculations by which legi-
innate business has for months been
embarrassed have come to an end
without disaster to other parties save
those who had invited disaster, Arm.
old & Co., in coffee, and Kershaw &
Co., in grain. with a number of
smaller operators. But commerce
and finance haye not been seriously
disturbed. Those whe derided or
dispute the wheat statistics given
three months ago in this review can
now see whether those figures were
more correct than the estimates of

Decision in the Road Case.

Judge Hoffman filed his opinion
Saturday in the case of Henry Beck
man against the county commission
ers of Garrett county. The case was
tried before the court at the May
term, and was held sub curia. The
cause was commenced before the
county commissioners by petition for
public road, which was laid out
through Beckman's farm, for which
the examiners allowed him nominal
damages. He filed objections to the
report, and claimed $1,000 damages.
The county commissioners granted
the road and allowed Beckman 500
damages. From this decision an ap.
peal was taken to the Circuit Court.
Judge Hoffman affirms the decision
of the county commissioners, and
imposes the costs, which are very
heavy, upon Mr., Beckman.

Gone TO Rest.

Died, after an illness of only four
days, Floyd N, son of Hamilton and
Mary S. Frazee, aged nearly 3 years.
Almost before the family and friends
became aware that the disease had
assumed serious form he was gone.
Being a child of unusual promise
and such good health, his death fell
heavily upon the family and friends.
Taken sick on Tuesday evening the
disease at once assumed a serious
form. So rapid did it do its work
that on Saturday, just as the sun was
sinking behind the western hills his
spirit fled, taken away before his
pure spirit became contaminated by
the sins of a wicked world. We
know that he has found home
among the bright angels above; yet
he has left sorrowing and bleeding
hearts behind. There are those who
will miss his gleeful form, those in
whose arms he used to nestle down
to rest at the close of day, and those
who will miss him on the playground.
May He who looks down upon the
marches of the stars. look down with
plying eye upon the bereaved par
ents and friends, and soothe the ach-
ing heart and calm the troubled
breast. f. j. w.

Mr.. George l. Richardson, of Balti-

He has just enclosed another lot

Rev. G. P. Masden is putting up a

Mrs. A. A. Wilks, of Baltimore.
has returned to us again and has let

porch to her cottage.
Several more guests have arrived
since last week.
A few of our neighbor farmers
have found their way here and have
disposed of their produce to good ad.
vantage, while others have been kept
away thinking, perhaps, that they
would have to pay for the privilege
of selling their own productions.
This is only required of those who
make business of buying and SELL
ing. I wish to remind them that
there are good prospects of more peo-
pie here this season than any that has
preceded it, and that it is only two
weeks more when there will be SO
many people here who are especially
fond of good, fat chicken.

Sunny Side.

Mr.. Henry Eggers dedicated his
new barn, on Friday night of last
week, by giving the young people of
this community a dance. The fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen were
present: Misses Julia and Anna
Shaffer, Maggie Welsh, Ida Moon,
Mary and Maggie Ward, Mollie San
non, Clara, Maggie, Mary and Annie
Eggers, and Messrs. F. Griffith.
Chas. Shaffer, F. Sanders, H. Clare,
Geo. E. Slabach, j. Sanders, w.
Murphy, H, and G. Eggers. S. H.
Mason, and w. G. Martin. At mid
night we retired to the house and
were helped to an abundance of cake,
and other good things, which was
very palatable. At l A. NJ. dancing
was resumed and kept up until day
light. We were furnished with
music by Mr.. A. Junkins, who is a
good musician. 1t is remarkable to
say that this is the first party that
there has been in this community for
years without the intrusion of drunk
ards. Mr.. Eggers is one of our most
enterprising farmers. We wish him
long life and prosperity.

the speculative rings. March 10th
this review said "that the surplus in
excess of the years home demand
and the 104,000,O00 bushels that has
been already exported was more than
80, 900, 900 bushels" Spectators rid
iculed this warning. But 100000
bushels more have been exported to
date, and the home demand has been
satisfied, ana within thirteen days of
the end of the crop year the "yisible
supply" of wheat is 42,112,l76 BUSH
els, all wheat in farmers hands and
elevators and all the flour in the
country.
For the first time since February
Chicago was selling wheat for export
on Tuesday and the market is now
gradually adjusting itself to natural
conditions. Sales of wheat here
reached 96,272.0O0 bushels. and of
coffee 1 ,272,O 900 sacks. In both mar
kets liquidation is progressing with
hlOIS quleI leelluS.
The iron market is somewhat
weakened in tone by the breaking of
the coke combination and the renew
ed production of some furnaces which
have been banked.
Cotton yielded but little when 9TH
er speculations broke, though crop
prospects are every weere reported
the most favorable for seven years.
With II per cent increase in acreage
yield the largest eyer known by
100000 bales may result, yet the price
of raw cotton is held 20 per cent above
that of No. 1, with print cloths lower
than at that time, Distrust of cur
rent prices affects dealings in goods
to some extent. though tine demand
is still healthy and strong. Higher
prices for wool at the London sales,
with stiff prices at the West, disheart-

fed as worsteds and admitted at low

Reports from many points. though
almost uniformly favorable as to the
volume of trade for the season, and
exceedingly hopeful as to the future,
begin to note stringency of money in
several directions. At Cleveland,
because of large demands, at Nash
vile, because of real estate opera
tions, at Omaha, because larger sums
have gone into buildings, and at De-
troit because of the wool movement.
Chicago bankers, in view of large de-
mands from legitimate customers
than were expected, regret that so
much has been tied up in wheat
loans. Collections are reported salts
